Amaechi who spoke while signing the state’s appropriation bill, likened what is happening in Ebonyi State, where there are attempts to impeach the state governor, Martin Elechi, to the experience he had.
“Let me thank the house for the opportunity to sign one more budget before I depart from office. I’m excitedly looking forward to departing from this office because it is extremely tedious, but I must thank you that all efforts at breaking down the house and government were not successful.
“You can see that my brother and friend in Ebonyi is battling with same people; the same people who don’t obey laws are battling him in Ebonyi. They tried it in Adamawa in the same illegal manner, they removed the governor. Here, they were not successful. Let me on behalf of the Rivers people, my family, that is, my wife and children, thank all members of the Rivers State House of Assembly”, he said.
He urged Rivers people to vote for the APC governorship candidate, Dr. Dakuku Peterside in the forthcoming election and rescue the state from the hands of those he described as intending hijackers of the state treasury.
He berated the PDP governorship candidate in the state describing him as unfit for governorship.
“I don’t have mansions like they have. They have mansions even behind the Government House and they are not ashamed. I have not done a contract neither have I taken Rivers State Government money and refused to execute the job.
“The moment the governor is a contractor then everything is finished. That means what you are seeing is an attempt to hijack the treasury of Rivers State and we would not allow that. Please go home and campaign for an APC government, go home and campaign for Buhari,” he said.
